Area Commands (reclaim, resurrect, attack, etc) should draw rectangles instead of circles.

This is especially relevant when attempting to reclaim near a frontline, with circles in order to get the necessary width you either need to go dangerously close to enemy territory or draw many smaller circles to approximate a rectangle.

The biggest design problem is how to handle the orientation of the rectangle (click and drag works fine for the dimensions), but I think just having the orientation fixed at 90 degrees (relative to the map) would generally be fine and still almost always better than a circle.

Make it toggleable, I love the circle

you'll run into the same problem with aabbs on diagonal maps (south west vs north east) op
you can still make a big circle but center it further behind your units, they'll go reclaim the closest wrecks first anyway gg

I agree that rectangles for area commands as well is worth someone writing a widget to at least be able to test it. I think it would be good to create consistency for area selection when we largely uses boxes for selecting units as well, as do most RTS past and present.

It makes no big difference if circle or rectangle. If this is what people want make it togglable
